YowCH & Grace

For the PSLE paper marking holidays (14 to 17 Oct 2014), primary schools are closed. We took the day off from work and brought the children to Sentosa for some exciting fun. After a simple breakfast at home, we reached Sentosa and parked at Imbiah carpark at 9:45am. We then waited for the Luge which opens at 10:00am.
Here’s a family photo at the start.

A map here to show the places we covered on this day. Click on it to open a larger and clearer map.

Here’s a shot of Joseph going downhill very fast on the luge. Esther and David had already zoomed off. Grace had to walk down with Samuel.

Some photos of the luge rides (4 rounds each for the three older children, YowCH went 2 rounds).





Well, Samuel obviously couldn’t ride, he was actually at a ‘demo unit’ mounted on a pole.

To get back up, we took the skylift, part of the deal with the luge rides.

After the luge, we took a ‘cool’ photo:

We also wanted to play the iFly, but Joseph is too young (min 7 years old) to play in the indoors sky-diving. It is rather expensive, nevertheless.

We then walked along the road at Siloso Beach, to get to the Trapeze but it opens only at 2:30pm.

So we took a bus back to the Beach Station area for lunch.




We finally decided not to eat at McD and had this Gogo Franks instead. High-priced fast-food sausages, but rather tasty.


After lunch, we walked up to the Merlion, as Joseph wants to see it.


Here we are, at the colourful Merlion Walk.



Here we are! Joseph and Samuel at the Merlion.

A very strange family photo:

When we got back to Beach Station, we had ice-cream from McD and coffee from Toast Box.

At about 2:00pm, we took a bus back to the Trapeze, reaching as they open at 2:30pm (it was a long wait for the bus). There was no queue, and after a short briefing and trial on the static bar, Esther, David and Joseph went up. 3 tries each.




They fearlessly swung on the trapeze, but they were unable to hook their legs over the bar for ‘up-side down’.

After the Trapeze, we headed to the Megazip Adventures. As Joseph is rather small and young, he played on the trampoline (Mega Bounce).

YowCH then took Samuel, Esther and David up the hill (on buggy) to get to the high artificial rock climbing wall. Grace and Joseph walked back to the luge station to take the skylift up and then walked further to the rock wall.

This is the wall that David and Esther climbed, about 5 storeys up.




Esther’s side seemed tougher, but she was nevertheless too tired to get up all the way. She did several tries from the ground-upwards, though. David managed to reach the top, and climbed back down.

Joseph had some fun climbing the elephant and the small rock.



We then walked back to the car through the same way Grace walked with Joseph, along the boardwalk bridge.

We left Sentosa at 5:15pm, and had dinner at ARC (Alexandra Road) Burger King.

Thank God for the great fun, bright sunny weather in the morning and when it turned grey in the afternoon, it didn’t rain, and positive attitudes from the children. Most of all, it was great time together as a family.

We spent about $250 for the day’s activities. Very expensive to have fun in Singapore.
